nex-7 - two years plus at the top

The NEX-7 was announced in August of 2011 and here we are today in 2014 and it is still the highest rated mirror less camera sensor that DXOMARK.COM has tested that is not a full frame. the only mirror less cameras rated higher are the A7 and the A7r.

people can bitch and moan about other features, but from an image quality point of view the NEX-7 has yet to be beat by any other APS or 4:3 camera

seriously, how many other cameras have ever held the top spot for sensor performance for over two years?
